A love for food and drink.

“We had this vision: awesome wood-burning and mixing that’s happening in this small vicinity. You can sit 10 feet away from the oven, where your drink was just made, watching the pizza…it’s very intimate.”

SPENCER CALDWELLHartford Courant

“Whether it’s the rustic pine paneling, amber glow of bar shelves brimming with bourbon bottles, or smoky aromas permeating the space from the wood burning oven, one thing is evident: Krust is a delicious and welcome addition to Middletown’s bar and restaurant scene.”
